Fanmix: Bloodsport (Erik Lehnsherr, Erik/Charles)

[ladymajavader]

Erik Lehnsherr is defined by two passions ruling his life: hatred towards Shaw, Nazis and humans (anyone responsible the suffering and injustice he was subjected to) and love for Charles (the one responsible for the fleeting happiness he experienced).

This is not a mix about Nazi-hunting.

A fanmix by ladymajavader and by mresundance. Cover art by mresundance.




1. Teeth by Lady Gaga
Tell me something that will change me

2. Single Sedative by Eastern Conference Champions
I'm gonna stay, but only for a while
A practice in denial

3. This Is Hardcore by Pulp
It's what men in stained raincoats pay for
but in here it's pure

4. Strangers by White Lies
Is this how your heart treats all strangers, with love and affection?
Then I feel cold and empty

5. The Different by Melissa
Etheridge
But don't you wanna know
what the dark and the wild and the different know?

6. Land of Jail by Gram Rabbit
Caged birds and vagabonds
walk hand in hand but what goes wrong

7. All I Need by Radiohead
I only stick with you
Because there are
no others

8. Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins
And what I choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?

9. I Feel You by Depeche Mode
I feel you
Your precious soul
And I am whole

10. Bloodsport by Sneaker Pimps
My mother never told me
Love is just a bloodsport

11. Again* by Archive
If I walk away from
you
and leave, my love
Could I laugh again?

12. Isolation by Joy Division
These pleasures a wayward distraction
This is my one lucky prize

Notes:

this mix was an accident during the making of another mix (which of course is still giving me labour pains). Songs that just screamed "this is so Erik!" kept landing in my lap until I ended with a lapful of angry love/hate songs and turned to mresundance to order them and give them some teeth and soul. The result turned out to be a surprisingly singealongable, depressive-agressive mix which is also a very good sountrack for cooking any type of meat stew. Check it out!

* This is the short radio mix of Archive's "Again". The full 16-minute, 3 cigarrettes and a 2 shots version in all its depressive glory is here.

I saw this a few hours ago but wasn't lucid enough to comment. It looks like an interesting collection of songs so I've downloaded it- thanks.
